A leisurely drive through the Yorkshire Dale on a beautiful sunny day in the UK to the village of Askrigg to SoftWash Grenada Hall.

Matthew Terry built Grenada House in Askrigg in 1782 after spending twelve years working in the West Indies as a book-keeper and overseer, land surveyor and colony surveyor. In 1791 he gave evidence to the Select Committee looking into the slave trade.


Are you considering painting your property?
What if there is a better alternative that could save you thousands.
If the paintwork on your property is in good order but starting to show signs of staining and discolouration rather than painting it again you should consider softwashing.
See how I brightened up the paintwork on this charming cottage by softwashing.
Having been painted a few years ago the paintwork was in very good order but it was staring to show signs of staining.
By softwashing we managed to freshen up this property so it looked like it had been freshly painted.
Softwashing is a low-pressure cleaning method used to clean and sanitize exterior surfaces.
The term "softwashing" refers to the use of a gentle, non-abrasive cleaning solution and a low-pressure spray to remove dirt, grime, and other contaminants from surfaces.
The biocide solution is applied to the surface being cleaned using a low-pressure spray, which is typically between 60 and 100 psi. The solution is allowed to sit for a period of time to allow it to penetrate and dissolve the contaminants on the surface.
After the biocide solution has had time to work, it is rinsed away using a low-pressure hot water spray. Softwashing is an effective method for cleaning and sanitizing surfaces without causing damage, as the low-pressure spray is gentle enough to avoid damaging delicate surfaces.
One of the main advantages of a soft wash or as it's known softwashing is that it is applied at low pressure, which ensures that even delicate surfaces aren’t damaged. This makes it the perfect cleaning method for those who want to maintain the look of their property without causing any harm to surface.
It's different to Pressure Washing or Jetwashing in that it utilises low pressure to apply chemicals and rinse with hot water.
Softwashing kills the living spores of algae, mould, bacteria and organic biofilm that cold water pressure washing cannot remove.
Painting over the living biofilm of algae and mould will result in it striking through the paint after a short period of time.
